The British Surrender (7 February 1942)

                         The British had underestimated the Japanese. Before the War, the Japanese
          set up a service called "intelligence" in Malaya and Singapore to provide information
          on the british defence. They planned on how to defeat the British in the event of a
          conflict. "intelligence" is information that is gathered by the government/ the army
          about their opponent/ enemies and their activities.
 
                        The British lost, and were forced to surrender to the Japanese army. So
           our home country was still in the hands of the cruel Japanese army.
